Outdoor space

Outdoor learning is integral to the provision. Each room has a well-resourced, stimulating garden where children develop coordination and motor skills as they climb, balance and navigate different terrains with their wheeled toys.

Rainbow Corner has been a great choice for my daughter, they have great facilities and are really good at keeping parents informed about their child’s day. The staff are lovely and kind, greeting the children by name. My daughter loves nursery, and they have sessions where parents can visit, play with their children and get to know staff. Great location opposite Loseley Fields school, which helps when there are multiple drop offs. Would really recommend a visit.

Rainbow Corner has been a fantastic choice for my toddler! The staff are incredibly kind and understanding, always making us feel welcomed and supported. The premises are wonderful, offering a bright and cheerful environment that my child loves. The food they provide seems delicious, and they even go the extra mile by washing my toddler's dirty laundry before sending it home. Their communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved. I highly recommend Rainbow Corner to any parent looking for a nurturing and caring nursery!

Our daughter has been attending Rainbow Corner for over a year and absolutely loves it. The staff are all brilliant and it’s clear she has developed a bond with practically every member of staff so we were not concerned when her key worker went on maternity leave. The facilities are unmatched in the area in my opinion, so much outside space in a safe quiet location. Genuinely so happy with our nursery choice.
